Larian Studios Forums Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga / Flames of Vengeance (English) Technical problems XBOX 360: Sassan can't summon demon.

Once I have given her the ok Sassan runs over as you see in the picture below, the red rings start to spin but after 20-30second the whole xbox 360 hangs and I have to switch it off.

I had the game installed on the HD, I deleted that and run it off the disc and the problem is the same.

When Sassan first ask me to summon the demon I said no as I wanted to look around and sort my self out. It was here I saved. Once I gave Sassan the ok as above it hangs.

Divinity II DKS PAL (UK region).

I have only been using the one save file and the whole game has been rock solid up until now.
I'm just installing it back onto the HD, my auto save which is just outside the door is an hour or so behind as I poped down here first snooping about.

I will try and get back to where I was and this time just go straight in with her to summon the demon and pray it works.

No go. Using the auto save and working back up to this point it hanged again at the same point.

I tried again without mind reading each of the Sassan's, without collecting anything, then picked the book up about the demon ect... Just hang's every time. Tested it again without being connected to xboxlive and it hung.


I have a 360 Slim 250G, HDMI PC, 1080i.

I can't go any further in the game now.

Thanks in advance

This is my first playthrough on DSK.

Just looking at your list, a bit over my head. I will see what I can do. Cheers.

Hope I have done the right thing and the files are on the way to you now.

I could not send it from my own internet provider email as the file size was just over 13MB - too big.
I used MSN to send the message in the end as it allowed for that size of file.

I am very annoyed as I have encountered the same problem.

I have exactly the same problem as the OTC. As Sassan tries to summon the demon the first words of the summoning comes up and then the game is stuck waiting for her to complete the summoning and eventually the game freezes and requires a reset of the console.

I have reloaded 3 times and every time it hangs I even loaded a couple of previous saves and worked again to this point but still the same problem. My character is level 21 and I really don't want to start over again.

I purchased the original Divinity II but struggled to play it due to the headache inducing poor framerate on the 360 however I enjoyed the game so bought the SDK version as hopefull everything was improved. So after £80 i still don't have a playable game.

I am playing the UK PAL Divinity II Dragon Knight Saga Xbox 360 version.
On a Halo LTD edition slim 250GB console the game is installed to the HD with over a 100 GB spare.

Hi matt,

It's a real shame to hear someone else with the same problem. I have stopped playing it because I had spent over 20 hours to get there. I was hoping it was just me and I could start over at a later date.

I copied my profile and save game to my son's 360 and it crashed again at the same spot.


No word yet but Larian Studios have a copy of my save game and I pray they can find a fix. I don't even want to start Flames of Veng until I have completed Ego Draconis side!

In the mean time I can only wait and pray this can be sorted some how as I love this game to death.

Hi Dungeon Master

Yeah i've tried everything that I can think of to try and get past the problem but alas no success.

Even if I started again there is no gaurantee that I wouldn't encounter the same glitch.

So like you I hope that they make a patch for the game soon. Otherwise i'm going to return it for a refund as it's not fit for purpose. I also bought it as a gift for a friend but will return that now.

Strangely enough I actually got past this point in the original release and encountered less problems with the game apart from the terrible frame rate of course.

I wonder if it is related to an achievement for summoning the demon as whenever I received previous achievements for this game there is a long pause in the game play.

It is such a shame as I was really enjoying the game and imo it was the best RPG on the 360.

Hello,

Yes, we have received your save game. One of my colleagues is looking into the matter, hopefully we can offer a solution soon. Really sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,
Lynn

Hi Lynn

Thanks for your update I'll keep my fingers crossed that the possible eventual solution works for us both then.

Regards
Matt

Thanks Lynn, best of luck!



Matt,

I too have the first Divinity II (2009) and got past this point, got the battle tower and dragon form stone ect...I was blown away!!
I never finished Divinity II (2009) tho because silly me started to play other new titles that came out in the new year like AvP.

If you still have Divinity II (2009) trying running it in the highest screen mode you can be it 1080i or 1080p - whatever you can push too. I found this would slow the game down enough which made it smoother to play and the animations were not so quick and flickery as they would be @ 720p. For me it slowed it down enough to make it very enjoyable and the game I knew it should of been @ at lower rez. I played it on Friday and it's still a fantastic game, some day I will beat the first release, just DKS has it all and more.

Hello, i'm french, playing the french version of the xbox 360 game (Divinity 2: The dragon knight saga), and have the exact same problem. The game gets stuck when Sassane tries to invoque the demon.

help please


Edit: I tryed to change some game options (difficulty, i put gama to 0% or 100%, unclicked target option..) and i even tryed to unistall the game from the HD to run it from the DVD only. Nothing helped..

I found a way through it ! Affter i tell Sassane to go invoke the demon, i keep hiting the A button from the controler like a crazy et the same time keep move the stick in all directions, and it finnaly went through the invocation.

This doesn't sound very plausible. However, having not played it since Buad's Storage's glitch, I'm far from Sassan, so I can't test this. I can only greet it with scepticism.

By the way: Hello!

Well it worked for me. Probably just need to keep hiting the A button should work too, but cannot test it, i use only 4 saves and always save on the oldest save, so i don't have the save file from before the invoke anymore.

Cheers Lord Riton.

I just tried and it has locked up again.

I'll try some more, if I can get past this and save I'll be back in play.

Hammering the buttons? Well I just tried it a few times myself and it doesn't work, I didn't think it would either.

I have tried deleting the installation from the HD and playing from the disc.
Moving my saves between USB and HD.
Loading much earlier saves and playing up to that point again.
But all end up not working no matter what I do the game just hangs shortly after the summoning begins.

It's definetely a glitch and I expect more people will encounter it as time goes on and they reach that point in the game. The only way around it that I can see is if a patch is released.

What I can't understand is this was supposed to be all sorted with this new release but it is clear from these forums that there are still numerous bugs in the game.

Very frustrating.

It also seems to be apparent only on the 360 version. It's unfortunate, but inevitable. Bugs and glitches are common in games, and not all are found, but that said, this is pretty blatant. Surely when testing a game, it's done on all formats?

I can assure you that many people played through that point without any problems, so the frequency of it occuring seems to be low - If we would of had something like this pop up frequently, it would've been flagged as a blocking bug and we wouldn't have shipped with it. We've received some 360 savegames now from helpful forum members and are now looking into what might be causing the issue.

Do you guys work Sundays then?
